Re: Select only two posts from a database list and show them on a HTML page

I would guess that this version: messages = Message.objects.order_by('-created')[:2] would be more memory efficient than the: messages = Message.objects.all() (and then using |slice:":2" to cut out the top 2) although, I've done that second one often. -- joe On Nov 5, 6:56 am, "Ro
